| PublicationDate: 12/5/97 Summary: Technical Specifications - Action Letter # 2 GEN-97-11 Author: CPS - Central Processing System (CPS) Posted December 5, 1997 TO: All EDE Destination Points FROM: U.S. Department of Education RE: Technical Specifications - Action Letter # 2 GEN-97-11 The Department of Education has received questions on the HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE specifications defined in Table B - Technical Specifications. In order to provide timely responses to all questions, we established two special ways for schools to request technical assistance on these issues. Destination Points may call (319) 339-6930 or send an email via the Internet to Action2@NCS.COM. One of the more frequently asked questions has been: Do I need a SCSI drive on all the PCs that use the Government supplied products? The answer: The SCSI drive should be resident on the PC that contains the database for the Government supplied software product, such as EDExpress. If you are in a LAN environment this would be your server. If you are in a standalone PC environment this would be your workstation. The Department will continue to post answers to frequently asked questions regarding Table B as they are received from Destination Points. |
